BMW 5 Series: Concept, General information, Safety information
Concept
The lane departure warning alerts when the vehicle on roads with lane markings is about to leave the lane.
General information
This camera-based system warns starting at a minimum speed.
The minimum speed is country-specific and is displayed in the menu for the intelligent Safety systems.
Warnings are issued by means of a steering wheel vibration. The severity of the steering wheel vibration can be adjusted.
The time of the warning may vary depending on the current driving situation.
The system does not provide a warning if the turn signal is set before leaving the lane.
Vehicles with side collision mitigation: if in the speed range up to 130 mph/210 km/h a lane marking is crossed, the system intervenes with a brief active steering intervention in addition to vibrating.
The system thus helps keep the vehicle in the lane.
